Having the same issue. Usually, this has to do with info-install missing a definition of an info dir entry. Not sure exactly in this case. But I can confirm this bug.

Also having the same issue. I've attached debug output of reinstalling autoconf-archive. The relevant part looks to be near the end:

...

For the record, this error also occurs when upgrading this package (from the previous 1:2015.09.25-1).

Further testing: the error happens when upgrading, reinstalling, removing, or fresh installing the package.

Same here, first when I updated, then when I reinstalled:

# pacman -S autoconf-archive
